Why This Recipe Is So Good

  • This is the perfect dish for people who don’t like breakfast casseroles! It’s packed full of flavor and tastes just like lasagna!
  • This breakfast is Whole30, paleo, low carb, and keto.
  • It’s perfect to feed a crowd or for meal prep for busy mornings.

Can You Make This Casserole Ahead of Time?

This casserole feeds a crowd, but it’s also perfect for breakfast meal prep. Bake the casserole, and let it cool to room temperature before covering and putting in the fridge. It will keep for four to five days, and you can reheat it in the oven or microwave before serving.

If serving a crowd, you can make the whole dish and store in the fridge before reheating and serving. You can also prep the whole dish up to baking it, and cover it and keep in the fridge overnight.

What Do You Serve With It?

This casserole is perfect just by itself with a little warmed marinara sauce, it makes for hearty and tasty breakfast. This casserole can also be enjoyed with a salad, vegetable, or potato side dish to make it a fuller main meal.

Chef’s Tips

  • If you can find Whole30 compliant Italian sausage, great! Otherwise, you can make it yourself – see the notes below the recipe!
  • Make sure your marinated artichoke hearts and marinara sauce are compliant if on Whole30.
  • The casserole is baked when the eggs are solid and an inserted knife comes out clean.

    I would like to make this. Can I substitute the coconut cream with something else Whole30 compliant. Making it for the family and not everyone likes coconut.

      You can substitute the coconut cream with any other super creamy, unsweetened plant-based milk. We use the coconut cream because of its fat content.5 stars
